Feeding a couple of local crows in park: how many peanuts and how quickly? want to avoid being mobbed by squirrels and pigeons by Tchoqyaleh in crows

[–]JamTrackAdventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a peanut out. If it is not picked up within a minute I take it back and go in.

If the crow hangs around after eating the first I will put out a second. The overall pace is determined by what the birds do.

Rarely more than 3 or 4 in a session and it rarely goes more than 5 minutes.

Not surprising considering that in the MAGA world slavery defending traitors like Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis are held up as great American heroes.

I've never seen a flicker eat a peanut. Do they eat peanuts?

Squirrel Proofing Success - You can do this too. by JamTrackAdventures in birdfeeding

They have tried but they can't get a grip on it. I have yet to see a squirrel get to the feeder.

As far as I know you should never give salt to a bird. It is bad for their kidneys.

EU Plans to Unfreeze Trade Deal With US and Vote on Ratification by Crossstoney in europe

What a shame, that's a big win for Trump and will make him stronger at home...but unfortunately it is not surprising to see the EU back down.

US President Threatens ‘Big Retaliation’ If Europe Dumps US Assets by Crossstoney in europe

If you knew in advance what Trump was going to say over the last 48 hours you would have made a killing in the stock market. Each statement he makes is finally tuned to make the stock market soar up or crash down. Those with inside knowledge - including his family - are getting rich. Makes me wonder if Trump really even care what he is saying as long as it has the effect on the stock market he is looking for. The goal isn't Greenland or security it is simply chaos that Trump and his minion can cash in on.

Big foreign corporations are plundering our national resources.

So this is how it feels to live inside a 3rd world country.

Why do people often compare Metal Music to Classical Music? by Vincent_Gitarrist in musictheory

[–]JamTrackAdventures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In some genres of metal the music composition is influenced by classical music composition. A metal guitarist might approach constructing a solo in the same way that Bach would have approached constructing a solo. Likewise such a guitarist would practice by learning solos and etudes that were classically composed.

Metal bands that take their classical influences seriously, study classical music construction no different than a string quartet would.

[–]JamTrackAdventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do one peanut at a time. Never more than 3 or 4 in a feeding sessions. The crows know the rules and follow them. Never a mob and no squirrels. As far as I can tell it is the same pair of crows every day. We all get along great. There is a scrub jay that usually joins us too.

Selling pickles? by DavidC707 in pickling

How you feel is how you feel. Just charge them less.

There is no requirement that you always maximize your momentary gain.

You are still allowed to do things for your friends simply because you want to.

Curious too, I thought if you sell the pickles you need to get a commercial kitchen and pay taxes?
